Active gene-environment interaction has its foundations in evolutionary theory. Evolutionary theorists had identified that assortative mating allowed individuals with similar traits to gravitate toward one another (Rhule-Louie and McMahon‚ 2007)‚ thus resulting in antisocial behaviour partnerships (Coyne and Wright‚ 2015). Consequently‚ these genes and antisocial environments created by these individuals play a massive role in segregated cross-generational criminal behaviour in families (Baum‚ 2013)

is an archetype. In 1976 Richard Dawkins wrote “Selfish Gene”‚ proposing a gene centered view of evolution rather than an organism or group centered one. The reason he describes the gene as « selfish » and not altruistic is that the gene’s ’agenda’ is to survive as a gene through replication and that the replication of the genes is at the gene level ; a gene of type A‚ when it replicates‚ will only make copies of gene A‚ and not of gene B. In this ground-breaking book‚ Dawkins has also coined the
